Rebecca C Fitzgerald designed non-endoscopic sampler when she was at MRC Cancer unit in the University of Cambridge.
> Feasibility study for Cytosponge 1. 80% of patients prefer cytosponge over endoscopy 2. 94.8% of samples were adequate for analysis 3. Sensitivity and specificity fluctuates around 70%, give and take experiment biases.
> Identify a good Biomarker. TFF3 (Trefoil factor 3) is a promising biomarker for Barrett's Oesophagus diagnosis. It can be applied to a non- endoscopic screening device.
> Patent Biomarker for Barrett's Oesophagus Use of TFF3 (Trefoil factor 3) in the diagnosis and detection of Barrett's Oesophagus using non-invasive, non-endoscopic methods (Cytosponge). Study shows that this method produces a high specificity (94%) and sensitivity (78%) in diagnosis of Barrett's Oesophagus.
> Patent CytoSponge concept and preliminary work Patent 2626499 was filed at 2006-10-20 and it was open to public inspection on 2007-04-26
> BEST 1 (504 participants) Primary objectives: safety and acceptability Result: 1. 501/ 504 participants successfully swallowed the Cytosponge 2. For ≥1cm circumferential BE: sensitivity = 73.3%, specificity = 93.8% 3. For ≥ 2cm circumferential BE (clinically relevant): sensitivity = 90.0%, specificity = 93.5% Conclusion: procedure is safe; patients find it acceptable; lab results are promising.
> BEST 2 (1100 participants) Primary objectives: accuracy Result: 1. 93.3% participants successfully swallowed Cytosponge; cytosponge was favoured over endoscopy 2. Sensitivity = 79.9% (overall); 87.2% (patients with ≥3 cm of circumferential BE); 89.7% (patients who swallowed Cytosponge twice) 3. Specificity = 92.4% Conclusion: Cytosponge-TFF3 is safe and acceptable; simple and inexpensive.
> Health Economics analyses 1 Results: 1. Compared with endoscopy, cytosponge + treatment is cheaper per participant with higher mean gains of QALYs and lower incremental cost-effectiveness ratio per QALY 2. Compared with endoscopy (17%), cytosponge reduces more incidence (19%) of oesophageal adenocarcinoma. Conclusion: Cytosponge is cost effective and would reduce cancer-related mortality compared with no screening
> Health Economic analysis 2 Conclusion: screening gastroesophageal reflux patients with Cytosponge and confirmation by endoscopy is an cost-effective strategy.
> BEST 3 (13,222 participants) Primary objectives: diagnosis rate per 1000 person-years Results: 1. Cytosponge + endoscopy diagnosed 140/6434 BE cases while endoscopy alone diagnosed 13/6388 BE cases. The rate ratio adjusted for cluster randomisation is 10.6. 2. 221/1654 participants tested positive for TFF3 after Cytosponge test, they underwent endoscopy. 131/221 of them were diagnosed with BE or cancer. Conclusion: Cytosponge detect 10x BE cases than the usual GP route
> Patent Methods for detecting of benign conditions This patent discloses kits and methods aiding the diagnosis of BE using Cytosponge.
> Patent Provides improvement on current cell sampling device (cytosponge) for cells lining the oesophagus.
> Patent Prognosis of Oesophageal and Gastro-oesophageal Junctional cancer
> Patent Methods to predict progression of Barrett's Oesophagus to High grade dysplasia oesophagus adenocarcinoma
> Commercialisation Covidien purchased licence to Cytosponge On 2014 June 15, Medtronic bought Covidien, now Medtronic makes the cytosponge devices
> Commercialisation Cyted was found by Rebecca Fitzgerald as a spin-out company to provide centralised laboratory testing for cytosponge and digital pathology technology (AI and software tools) to improve diagnostic accuracy and scale up sample evaluation to NHS-needed level.
> Health Economic analysis 3 Per patient, 1 round Cytosponge test + endoscopy + treatment costed £82 more than usual care. For patients who will not develop BE, we gained: 1. additional 0.015 QALY 2. ICER of £5500 per QALY gained For patients who have BE dysplasia/ cancer, the cost-effective was over 90% at a willingness-to-pay threshold of £20000 per QALY. Conclusion: Cytosponge is cost-effective, this will increase with more patients accepting this test.
> Health Economic analysis 4 Full adoption of Cytosponge test in NHS Scotland will result in non-cash releasing saving £2,000,000 over 5 years. Financial case demonstrates a capacity saving of £361,000 in year 2, rising to £430,000 in year 5
> Feasibility study of Cytosponge for post chemoradiotherapy surveillance Result: safe, tolerable, and acceptable for the assessment of treatment response Funding: CRUK, NIHR, MRC
Прогресс события
Best 4 (on going, anticipate 120,000 participants) A Platform Trial to determine whether Cytosponge-biomarker technology reduces mortality from oesophageal cancer Primary objective: whether Cytosponge-TFF3 test can be used to reduce the number of deaths due to oesophagus cancer (OAC) Funding: jointly funded by NIHR HTA and CRUK (total funding of £6.4 million)
Project Delta ∆ Primary objectives: redesign the clinical pathway for gastro-oesophageal reflux Project summary: 1. Develop algorithms to identify individuals most at risk 2. Offer people at risk Cytosponge-TFF3 test 3. Develop an AI algorithm to assist pathologists with rapid diagnosis. 4. Monitor patients diagnosed with BE regularly for early signs of cancer. High-risk patients will be referred to endoscopy Funding: UKRI Innovate UK and Cancer Research UK.
